Antw: [Paraview] Use paraview with a SGI prism and a Cave

[yi mu]

Hi,

I have tried your approach, but it didn't work :(.
After I    have tried long enough, I decided the cave
rander module is not going to work, it treats cave as
tiled display, if you look at your configure file, all
the walls have the same z value, if you change the z
value to a different value of a specific wall, that
wall will not work.    

For example, I have three walls,
 one for the center, one right wing and one floor.
if specify the coordinates like the following:

 Environment="DISPLAY=:0.0"
  LowerLeft="-1.0 0 -1.0"
  LowerRight="0 0 -1.0"
  UpperLeft="-1.0 1.0  -1.0" />   //center

  <Machine Name="prism_d3"
  Environment="DISPLAY=:0.2"
  LowerLeft="0 0 -1 "
  LowerRight="1 0 -1 "
  UpperLeft="0 1 -1" />   //right wing

  <Machine Name="prism_d4"
  Environment="DISPLAY=:0.3"
  LowerLeft="-1 -1 -1 "
  LowerRight="0  -1 -1 "
  UpperLeft="-1 0 -1" />  //floor



you will see the left upper part of the geometry on
the  center wall, right upper part on the right wing
and left bottom part on the floor. But we want the
floor have the whole bottom part, we can have the
whole bottom part by specifying the coordinates
differently, but the bottom part will not align with
the upper part.

If you have any new findings, pleas let me know.

Thanks,

Yi
